50 ways to serve FOM

Paula Wolfert in her cookbook Couscous and Other Good Food from Morocco offers the story of 50 ways to serve chicken.  The list came about due to a wager at a meeting of the Istiqlal during the struggle against the French in the early 1950s. The wager was made, and won, by Mehdi Bennoxina of Tetuoun, later chief of the Agence Maghreb Arabe Presse in Rabat. We offer for your consideration:
